My painting of Peter Trippi

What an honor to have the opportunity to paint Fine Art Connoisseur editor, Peter Trippi, in Greenwich, Connecticut in July with the Connecticut Society of Portrait Artists. He was a fantastic model despite the summer heat and a class act. My painting was started from his live sitting of 3 hours with breaks.

Completed paintings of Identical twins

Painting identical twins presented some interesting considerations: How to keep the personality of each child intact, yet work with their similar appearance in a meaningful way. Right away I understood the diverging personailites of the girls: one who held my hand to cross the street and the other a more spirited child. I worked from photographs as the Mom was extremely busy. Going through the numerous photos later, the concept became clear.

These frames are from Page-Waterman Gallery in Wellesley.
